Driving back home a little while ago, I got to catch the Fresh Air interview with Temple Grandin. What an amazing spirit! I recorded the HBO special for Christie and I to watch. I look forward to it even more now.
Hope everyone gets to catch it! http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010...bable_jou.html this is the fresh air interview! Last edited by Jess; 02-25-2010 at 12:25 PM. Reason: forgot to add link.. der |

Hi there!
I was diagnosed with AS after suspecting it for a while a year or so ago...or maybe two, I am spun and not thinking clearly. I really enjoyed the thread on the other website and will read all of this one and come back to chat! Thank you Urs and Belle!

Cross-posting this from the animal rescue thread. It's an interview with Temple Grandin - some of the same quotes have already been posted here. It's a great insight into the different ways we perceive, process and use information. The interview is here.
I know I'm often puzzled by the way people perceive my words. At times I'm much more aware and able to communicate in a way that's easily heard. At other times I'm truly surprised at others' reactions, and the way I perceive others. Life. It's a learning process. *sigh*

Life has been in an uproar for the past year or so, and I just can't seem to get calmed down and organized and back in my groove. I will write or say things, and while it can seem quite clear to me, the opposite of what I am trying to say is perceived..... I feel pretty lost and overwhelmed and sensitive. When I am in meltdown, I have to cut the tags out of all my clothes, wear soft things, make sure my hair is not pulling, control sounds and light around me, even the scent. I am going to order the sensitive book, maybe that will give me more ideas on how to cope. Loving this thread.
